at the Victory Hospital at Stanley on Nov. 22nd, 1939 after an
illness of several months duration. She had reached the age of
sixty-nine years and eight months.

former resident of the community of Mauston, Wis., where she was
laid at rest. Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church in
that city at three o’clock last Friday afternoon, Rev. Alfred
B. Nimez officiating. She was a member of the eastern Star Lodge of
Mauston.

lived but a short time in this village, she had made numerous
friends who will sadly miss her, but are assured that her release
from earthly bondage in her hour of need, is for the best.
